Chapter 1: Prepping Graphics

for Print

In This Chapter

✓ Picking the right resolution, mode, and format

✓ Prepress and working with a service bureau

✓ Printing vector images

✓ Managing color when printing

✓ Creating color separations

reparing images for the screen is a snap compared to what you have to

go through to get images ripe for the printing process. If all you ever

want to do is print your images to a desktop laser or inkjet printer, the task

is a little easier, but you still must consider some guidelines. And prepping

your images for offset printing? Well, throw in an additional set of guide-

lines. It’s not rocket science, mind you. If you stick to the basic rules and,

more importantly, spend some time developing a good working relationship

with your service bureau and offset printer, you’re good to go.

Getting the Right Resolution,

Mode, and Format

If you’re not familiar with the concept of resolution,

I suggest taking a look at Book II, Chapter 1. That’s

where I cover all the basics on resolution, pixel

dimension, resampling, and other related topics.

For full descriptions on color modes and file for-

mats, see Book II, Chapter 2. That said, the following

sections give you the lowdown on the proper settings

for an image that will ultimately go to print.

Resolution and modes

Table 1-1 provides some guidelines about what resolution settings

to use for the most common types of output. Remember, these are just

guidelines. They aren’t chiseled in stone to withstand the sands of time or

anything lofty like that. You need to communicate with your service bureau,

offset printer, or client and get specifications and/or recommendations. (See

the section “Working with a Service Bureau,” later in this chapter.)
